Fine.

Eve manages to haul herself out of bed. She picks up a pair of light, grey joggers off the floor and slips them up her legs. In another corner of her room, she finds a long, baggy T-shirt that's been launched on the floor. It has a few stains on it. A yellow one on the right shoulder and a brownish one on the left hip. She slides it over her head and smoothly glides her arms through the holes in either side of the shirt. Head still pounding from the previous night, she trails through to the kitchen to take some paracetamol. An image flashes in Eve's head.

'I have some paracetamol in my bag if you want some?'

Eve scrunches her brows and shakes the thought off with a shudder of the head. She takes the tablets, scratching down her oesophagus and into her stomach. She heads upstairs to wash her face, clean her teeth and sort out her bedhead. As she heads up to the bathroom, she bumps into Dom.

"Oh, hey sweetie," speaks a sore Eve, lightly rubbing her head.

"Hi, Eve," smiles Dom. He furrows his brow. "Are... you okay?"

"Oh, me? Yeah, yeah. I just have a bit of a headache, that's all." Eve quickly removes her hand from her head and softly smiles at Dom, stroking his hair. Before walking off, she quickly steps back to face him. "Hey, do you know where Niko is?"

Dom pauses for a moment. "Erm." Dom looks around.

"What?" huffs Eve.

"Well, he told me not to say anything but-"

Eve winces her brows at Dom.

"He slept at Gemma's last night."

Eve's face drops. "What?- I, uh," she stutters. Dom quickly pipes up.

"Only on the couch! At least, that's what he told me." Dom looks at Eve with a hopeful eye.

"Yeah." Eve huffs again. "I'm sure he did, honey." She softly smiles at Dom. She continues to prep herself to meet Bill at the park.

Eve grabs her phone and walks out of the door, slamming it in anger behind her.

Knifing, little bastard! They are TOTALLY sleeping together. Fuck him!
